Abstract

In this report, we present the development of an environmental radiation monitoring system. The system includes Inspector+ dose meter, FPGA board, and LabVIEW interface. In the electronic board using FPGA, the embedded VHDL program is developed for FPGA board. Its functions are to accumulate pulse signals from the Inspector+, transmit data to the computer. Computer interface is written on LabVIEW platform. Its functions are to receive data from FPGA board, plot data, store data, as well as control the FPGA board. We evaluate the response of the system by using a standard pulse generator. With this system, we carry out the measurement of environmental background radiation in two experimental rooms and outside at Nuclear physics Department, University of Science, VNU-HCMC.
